African Struggles Today by Leo Zeilig
A groundbreaking analysis examining the gains, contradictions and frustrations of 21st century pre-democracy struggles across Southern Africa.
"[The] experience of explosive movements for change therefore has to be set against their limitations - including the question of political leadership and organisation and the ideological underpinning of the revoltsSuch questions are not of importance for Africans or people who are interested in African politics alone: they concern questions that face activists everywhere. Therefore this history and analysis deserves much wider circulation. Readers who may have knowledge of one part of Africa will gain from the detailed analysis of countries that they are less familiar with."
